Stevie Johnson vs. Chaz Schilens
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, September 17th, 2011 at 10:54 am in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receivers were a popular commodity in the 2008 NFL draft, with 35 selected during the seven-round process.
Long after such notables as DeSean Jackson, Jordy Nelson and Eddie Royal were selected, the Buffalo Bills drafted Stevie Johnson in the seventh round with the 224th pick and the Raiders took Chaz Schilens two picks later.
As further evidence of what a crap-shoot the draft is, the Raiders selected Arman Shields in the fourth round in the same draft.
Johnson was the 31st receiver snatched up, Schilens the 32nd. Schilens caught 15 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns his rookie season, and he appeared headed for a productive NFL career.
Johnson snared 10 passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns for the Bills in 2008. He added only two for 10 yards the following season.
Then came 2010, when Johnson had the breakout season Raiders fans hoped to see from Schilens at some point.
Johnson caught 82 passes for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Schilens caught five passes for 40 yards and one touchdown.
Bills coach Chan Gailey said Johnson has developed into a much better player than he thought he would when he scouted him at Kentucky.
“I had evaluated him when he came out, when I was in Kansas City,” Gailey said. “I thought he was a good player but I didn’t know he was this good, to be honest with you. A lot of people didn’t, or he wouldn’t have gotten drafted in the seventh round.
“He’s been a great surprise and I’m happy for him. He’s a good young man. He’s come a long way and we have a great deal of confidence in him right now.”
Naturally, injuries have been the biggest obstacle for Schilens since he joined the Raiders. He is healthy once again and hopeful of the kind of season Johnson had last year.
In Oakland’s first game, Schilens didn’t have any passes thrown his way. Johnson caught four for 66 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s 41-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Overall, Johnson’s career stats dwarf those of Schilens. He has twice as many receptions (98-49), almost twice the yardage
(1,251-631) and more than twice the touchdowns (13-5).
“It was just opportunity, that’s it,” Johnson said. “Nothing clicked, it was just Gailey giving me an opportunity, and my receivers coaches putting me in the right spot and making sure I’m on game for each week,” Johnson said.

If Hagan’s performance in the preseason would have even remotely transcended into his performance in Denver, we probably would have put the game away in the middle of the 4th quarter. Instead, we barely won.
+++++++
Ridiculous…Only thing that prevented a blowout was penalties…
How do you extrapolate HAGAN doing well in the preseason, to the RAIDERS blowing out Denver with him on the field???
This ought to be good…
September 17th, 2011 at 11:02 am
Thec, why are your answers to one simple point of mine getting longer with each re-post? Questioning your own logic? I think even you may know good and well that if Hagan’s performance in the preseason transcended into his performance in Denver, the game might not have been as close.

Thec, after Hue Jackson wins his 3rd Super Bowl, I’d imagine then that any surliness or inconsistencies in his statements to the press will be passed off as some sort of cool style of his, as is the case with Belichick. In the meantime, Hue would be better suited being forthright and open with the media, because he’ll be scorned for anything less. You’ve got to pay your dues. Belichick’s paid them. Hue is a green, wet behind the ears rookie in the world of NFL coaching.

How do you extrapolate that DHAGAN playing in the dever game would have resulted in the RAIDERS blowout?

You would think Sulley would be nicer to those who’s taxes pay his welfare check.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:08 am
So let me get this straight you dis campbell and say he is not a QB. then you say HAGANS playing would result in a RAIDER blowout? By your “logic” that is a paradox, if campbell is not a good QB, the having HAGN makes zero differance….
September 17th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Thec, I wasn’t referring to your opinion of Hue’s style with the press. I was referring to the way the press will treat him if he tries to coy up with them, when he’s paid no dues with them whatsoever. The media respects Bill Belichick a world more than they do Hue Jackson, as well they should. Belichick won 3 Super Bowls. Hue’s won none, and he’s a rookie HC, to boot.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:11 am
Don, you don’t pay any taxes, so what concern would it be of yours?
September 17th, 2011 at 11:13 am
So tired of media’s disrespect of the Raiders.
Watched Inside the NFL last night and no mention of…
150 rushing yards by McFadden
Over 200 total rushing yards
5 sacks of Orton
Fumble recovery (should have been 2) and an INT despite Nnamdi’s departure
First Monday night win in several years.
8th straight Division win
First season opening win in several years.
Not only did they fail to mention any of that they all picked the Bills to win this week.

September 17th, 2011 at 11:41 am
Thec,
RGIII is in a class by himself. He is the fastest qb I have ever seen, including eagle 7. His arm is extremely accurate and he is a 3 year starter.
Boyd first year starter, very good passer not extremely athletic, but athletic none the less. He can take off and get a first down he wont out run you for 30 yd td.
Manual is a physical specimen. Very athletic, good throwing motion. He had a problem forcing the ball last year. He could be a really good player if he can be more conservative & make better decisions. We will see
September 17th, 2011 at 11:42 am
The Raiders need to win consistently against beatable teams (DEN, BUF, KC, MIA, CLE)
The Raiders need to compete against elite teams (NYJ, NE, GB, SD)
That is where I would like to see this team in 2011-12. Kick ass when you win – Don’t get your ass kicked to hard when you lose. (never lose by more than 10 pts.)
If we can accomplish this, I will consider this season a success. Even if we finish 9-7, and second in the div. That would mean we had a respectable year, and could be great in 2010-13!

Lucky to be in the UFL.
RGIII is considered a 2nd rounder, and getting a lot of comparisions to Drew Brees, with being a tad shorter than desired (listed as 6′1.5, probably will be 6 flat at the combine) and not “NFL-level” arm strength, but finds ways to get it done.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Same thing with Kellen Moore.
A little smaller than RGIII, maybe not as much arm strength, more accomplished and played in bigger games.
I don’t think either RGIII or Moore will go in the first 40 picks.

DAILY REMINDER
For those who are new here, Sullivan/RMR/realmoronretard/etc has over 100 troll names. When he cant get someone to take the bait he argues with himself under a troll name. This is his 5th year of doing the same thing 365/24/7.
I am serious, FOUR years now that he has been doing this.
Just saying
September 17th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Thec = Right
Sullivan = Wrong
I did agree with Sullivan’s logic concerning a coaches win/loss record dictating the way the media responds to their comments. Bellichek comes across as a major weird-o, but is looked at as coaching God. If he didn’t have a great record of success the media would bury him because of the way he comes across. Im not sure if Thec realizes that no Raiders coach under the tenure of Al Davis will ever be forthcoming to the media…it’s just part of AD’s modus operandi. You will notice Raiders beat writers always stating that Terrell Pryor always saying he’s got to go, or he’s getting ready to take a shower to dodge questions from the media…actually ANY player or coach of the Raiders will do the same when asked questions about controversial matters. I’m telling you guys, this is just how Al Davis requires his organization to be run and I agree 100 percent. Especially regarding player injuries.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:08 pm
I’m not saying I hate Hagan, Hagan is fine, and obviously the Raiders like him.
I just don’t like people throwing the coach under the bus over the guy.
Hue is winning, as long as that is true, I’m OK with whatever personnel decisions he makes.
IMO, Hagan probably needs some more time with the playbook before he can really help this team. The Jackson/Campbell playbook is not as basic as it has been with other QBs. Give it time.
And if Hue is winning, he deserves props, not malcontent!

You can’t develop wide receivers without a good quarterback. The Raiders have not had a good quarterback since Rich Gannon.

True, but I would argue the line of questions was loaded. Hue doesn’t deserve to be hassled by the local press in such a manner after a win.
If Hue loses, then yeah, question his plan – If he is winning, then his decisions shouldn’t be questioned.
Apparently, he knows what he is doing, and is doing his job well. Hassle him after a he loses.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
I thought the issue was Hue was gonna lose face to the players by going back on his word.
This never happened – The team loves Hue, as evident by the Gatoraid bath they gave him.
So if the team is winning, and the players are happy – WTF is Steve’s problem? Steve is just stirring up sh!t for no reason!

And on that note …
Groves and Branch are going to have BIG days for us on defense tomorrow. Their TE and RBs are going to do nada against those guys.
I’m looking forward to seeing Boss and Gordon on the field at the same time, and maybe an Ausberry sighting.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
Sure hope Janikowski doesn’t get suspended (or worse).
September 17th, 2011 at 12:22 pm
As far as diminutive athlete QBs in NCAA football, I am not sure RGIII is any better than Russel Wilson.
Wilson seems to have the better arm and RGIII a better runner.
In the NFL, the better a QB can throw from the pocket, the better the prospect.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Agreed: 69 is a good post. I liked the way Hue responded to why Hagan didn’t play in regard to his comment about production leading to playing time. I agree that Hagan looked great during the preseason, but he needed to look great just to make the team in the first place. He was a “bubble” player, got cut from the Giants (which I feel had a great group of young receivers, so I’m not saying he’s not good), but the Giants staff had a lot of time to assess his play and give him opportunities, so I’m not sure why they would cut him if he is a starting caliber receiver. I would say the guy is solid and consistent without a whole lot of upside. I think he has earned the chance to get some opportunities and if he takes advantage then wonderful, but to call him a starting receiver on our football team is ridiculous. It seems like some of you guys have gotten so used to poor receiver play that mediocracy looks wonderful to you. I would say though, that from top to bottom we have as much WR talent as any team in football so long as we stay healthy.

Like Hue said, his performance got him on the damn team which was a LONG shot from the start. To think that would vault him up to 1 or 2 on the depth chart for game 1 is not logical AT ALL.

IF Al decided who played then Hue knew dam good and well it would happen to him. But Hue says that is not the case and I believe him.
Al is too old to be making all the decisions he gets blame or credit for.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Hue has bigger fish to fry then to be embattled with the local media over Derick F*cking Hagan!
He’s trying to get the team ready in a short week, and his Kicker is all over the police blotter! Hagan’s issue is way down on the list I’m sure.

September 17th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
One more time for the hard of hearing: no one is saying that Hagan should start. But his deactivation stuck to high heaven of arbitrary meddling with no rationale behind it. By any objective measure, it should have been Schilens who got deactivated and Hagan should have had the opportunity to supplant him. Let me stress: THE OPPORTUNITY, not a guaranteed roster spot. But by all evidence it looks like Schilens got himself a scholarship just like DHB.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
The argument is stupid. Bennet and rankin had better preseasons than DMC.

Steve is feeling his oats with his blog “promotion”.
Opened up a twitter account, has PFT linking info from him now, and asking tough questions of Hue.
Nothing wrong with a man trying to get ahead.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Good point, why is Steve stirring up so much trouble? The retard needs to realize that people who read his posts are typically fans of the Raiders, not people who don’t like them. I’m just not sure why he is so negative over something so insignificant. I would assume his mission statement would be to attract new followers and keep current ones through attractive and interesting reporting of the Raiders. These reporters don’t like AD because he isn’t very media friendly and requires his organization to follow suit. He does it because he likes to gain any kind of competitive advantage possible so even though I hate not having access to as much information on the Raiders as I would always like, I enjoy knowing that winning trumps face-time with the guy on top.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
Maybe Steve aspires to be more than a local beat writer.
If so, you got to stir up the pot and make a name for yourself.
Saying yes sir and standing in line will have him doing what he is doing today, for 15 years and never get a pay raise.

My cousin, Josh Suchon, was a beat writer for the A’s and Giants for the Trib for a few years, and saw the rest of his life in front of him, and didn’t like it’s limits.
He wrote a book on Barry Bonds, not a controversial one but one with a positive spin on BB, that got him on ESPN temporarily, and is now working for the Dodgers and the local talk radio station. He is line to at least interview as Vin’s replacement whenever Vin leaves.
You got to break some eggs to make an omelet. Steve is clearly thinking about his career first, and people’s opinions second, and that is the only way to be in the sports media world.
Skip Bayless probably makes 5 times the amount of money as Steve and Jerry combined, with his schtick. It’s all bluster, and I hate him, but you have to give him credit for rising to the top, instead of just being a yes man for the Mercury News.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:44 pm
So now Schillens sucks and needs to be deactivated?
Schillens problem has been injury, not lack of talent. Everyone says he is our best WR. The only potential #1 on the team. Now he should be deactivated when he’s healthy?
It should be pretty simple to understand that Hagan starts the year off as the 7th WR on the team, and has to work his way up from there.
Even if we cut Miller somehow, Hagan only moves up to 6.
DHB
Ford
Chaz
Murphy
Moore
Miller
Hagan
September 17th, 2011 at 12:44 pm
With Ford and Murphy out and DHB tweeking his whatever, this is going to be the coming out party for D. Moore. I am also very high on Chaz showing up as long as he doesn’t trip over the sideline chaulk…

It doesn’t seem to be affecting our ability to win – therefore it is a non-issue.
Hagan is new to the system, it may just take him time to get acclimated. The fact that he made the roster tells me Hue thinks highly of him. But letting the guys who know the system better than him play ahead of him is just common sense.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Just Fire Baby: What is your opinion as to what a blog reporter needs to do to be successful. Stirring the pot is very vague, so I’m curious as to what you are trying to say. I’m not sure what could be more important than maintaining and growing your list of followers. Stirring the pot, to me, could either benefit this idea or take away from it…but I think a writers success would depend on how many people read what you are writing.

J Hill-since when is logic the norm on here?Corkran is guilty of the same thing many on here are.He feel in love with a couple of WRs in camp,they aren’t getting the playing time he wants,so his panties are all bunched up.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:49 pm
If I had to choose between Hagan or Schilens being activated, im going Chaz. He has shown the ability to do everything that Hagan does and more, and get this, it was in regular season games.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Like any self-respecting journalist whose paid to do his job, Corkran figures it’s a legitimate point of inquiry to ask the following question:
Are the Raiders putting the best players on the field or, as has been rumored for decades, does Davis still play politics with his pet players?
I give Corkran high kudos for exposing the fact that Jackson’s evaluation of who he believes to be the best players–no matter how valid–can still be overruled by the old man.
And some would argue, furthermore, that this is a significant reason why the franchise has floundered for the better part of two decades.
But, hey, if you don’t get it, or care to get it, keep waiving your banners and hope things change this year.

The WR position is going to be meaningless anyways. This game is going to be a battle of the running games. Both teams run defenses were horrible last year. The team who has improved the most in stopping the run will win this game…

You can’t alienate who you are covering, because you won’t get access, but you also can’t be a schill, because you will be type-caste as such.

Ohio accuses others of not getting it when in reality it his he who can’t see the forest through the trees.Hagan is the 7th WR on the depth chart.If one or more are going to be deactivated he is the 1st option.

Post #97: JWB…I understand your logic totally, but Skip Bayless and other macro-level reporter are reporting via a forum that is reared towards ALL sports fans, not to just one specific market. The Oakland Tribune is a local paper thus your reporting would be much different than if you were on ESPN. I understand cracking eggs and agree this needs to be done, I just think Steve’s mindset is totally off-base if he thinks what he writing is going to make his readers more apt to keep reading what he writes, or if he thinks it’s going to make a new reader excited for his next article to come out. Like I said, pepole who read this stuff will typically be Oakland Raider fans or people who live in the Oaklsnd Tribunes coverage area. I just don’t think what he found to be interesting enough to write about, would catch the attention of Raider fans or people who live in the Tribune’s coverage area.

Post 98….couldn’t agree with you more. Hagan looks great, but we have a lot of good receivers so once you put it on paper it seems pretty obvious why Hagan wasn’t active. Not a terrible problem to have though so I’m not sure why Steve is making such a fuss over it.

Jfb anybody that things RGIII doesnt have NFL arm strength is an idiot. He has a cannon for an arm. I never said manual was NFL ready, I said I wanted to watch him and see how far he has come.
It’s been proven time & time again that I have a decent handle on qb play & you don’t know shid.
Remember telling me that scabs wold be starting for us & he was better than jc? Remember when you said newton would flop? Wrong a’s usual.
For the record Johnson was with the packers, his stock plummeted after an injury to his throwing arm hurt is performance.

September 17th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
OhioRaider, if both are healthy who would you rather have on the field? Hagan or Schilens?? If you want to talk about stats, I think you need to look at production in games actually played, not season statistics. I would agree I would rather have Hagan on my team than Schilens due to the fact Chaz has had such a past of injuries, but on game day if I want to win, I’m going to play Chaz over Hagan 7 days a week.
September 17th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
You all need to understand something.
Hagan is NOT in the team plans. Period.
He will be cut once Pryor is activated

To be fair…Hue Jackson had no business making a comment about performance in preseason will determine playing time.
That’s not true in Oakland and that’s not true anywhere.
There are other factors that go into it…
1. Prior year performance by current players
2. Injuries
3. Draft status and investment

IMO, He was lying to the press to save face for starting Satele over Wiz II at Center. And he is not the first coach to lie to the press.
I may be wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time, but I don’t recall him stating that specifically about WRs.
I think Hagan should get a chance to learn the playbook before we rush him onto the field.

JFB: like i said, the term “ruffling feathers” is way too vague to assume it’s always going to be positively interpreted by readers. Therefore, a reporter who doesn’t mind ruffling feathers doesn’t automatically mean his information is going to be of interest to his readers. I understand what you mean by “yes man” reporters not being very interesting, I just don’t think he should have created so much fuss about something so uninteresting. Yes, I wanted Hagan to play and yes I was curious as to why he wasn’t active….hell, I even wanted Hue to address the subject. I’m not sure if you read all of the associated Steve posts regarding this matter but Hue answer seemed good enough to me. I just think it should have been left at that. Everything after the fact is why I think Steve was obsessing over it for some reason.

Hagan is here in case Schilens or Murphy don’t get it done….He will be cut when Pryor is activated.

Watching this Denver game and this offense is a thing of beauty. Lining up in some kind of weak side pro set with Reece and Meyers WIITH TJ lined up 3yds behind both of them. Fake pitch to TJ, sweep Reece for 10yds – Denver paused – they didn’t know who was getting the ball.
Thats absolutely beautiful play designing.

These boyz are designing plays at a higher level. This is stuff I can’t even remember seeing in years of watching football.
The key is just the bounty of weapons the Raiders have to throw at you. They have threats across the board: FB, RB, WR AND TE.
You have to give Davis a lot of credit for gathering all this talent. It really is almost unbelievable how fortunate we are to have all this to watch. Its a thing of beauty. Also cred Hue & Saunders. Its their minds running it.

I thought the issue was Hue was gonna lose face to the players by going back on his word.
This never happened – The team loves Hue, as evident by the Gatoraid bath they gave him.
So if the team is winning, and the players are happy – WTF is Steve’s problem? Steve is just stirring up sh!t for no reason!
*******************************************************
I’m sick and tired of Hue’s doublespeak. Somebody got a little “knick” but they’re gonna be fine and then you know they’re getting surgery.
Who do you think our top wideout is right now?
DHB? He’s had 1 good game. Not great, good. The only reason he starts is because he’s on Al’s scholarship program.
Murphy? He got “knicked” and had to have surgery. He’s out.
Ford? He’s recovering from a hammie. He’s out.
Moore? The kid looked good in camp, but he’s still a rookie.
Schilins? Ran one non contact play in preseason and hurt himself. The man can’t tie his shoes without pulling something.
Miller? In his third season and has a total of 3 catches and 40 yards. The only reason he’s still on the team is that he’s one of Al’s scholarship kids.
That brings us to Hagan. An experienced vet who has caught everything that we’ve thrown at him. I’m not saying that he’s the answer to the Raiders WR problems, but at this point in time he is the best option we’ve got. To leave him sitting in the locker room for a big game is stupidity.
According to Hue, Hagan was our top WR in preseason.
Also according to Hue, the best players will play in the reg season. So why isn’t Hagan getting a shot?
So, Steve got in Hue’s grill and asked him some tough questions. Good! That’s his job! The fact that Jackson got flustered and babbled out some more bullsh!t doublespeak is his problem, not Steves.
Maybe the real problem is that Hue is realizing that his special relationship with Davis isn’t so special after all.

Steve got handled by Hue Jack with his ridiculous assertions regarding Hagan. The guy can’t go 2days without some ridiculous Hagan comment. He just tried to make himself look better in print yesterday ad lipping. Watch the vid and Hue put him in place. Its just stupid to expect Hagan to start off the streets.
As the more intellectually capable football critics have no doubt highlighted, Hagan’s first step was to make the darn team. It was a tall order to pull that off.
But some of you lame brains want him to start over the talent we have. Just ridiculous. Let him earn his way to the top. Racking up yds in the preseason against lesser quality opponents dont count. If it did, Rankin and Bennet would be starting over McFadden & Bush.

134: great post!!!! That information is far more exact than just looking at season statistics considering we all know Chaz’s seasons were cut short due to injuries. So basically Chaz has as many TDs in half the games Hagan has. Proportionally, Chaz has also acquired more yards per game played than Hagan. This also doesn’t take into account the Raiders instability at the QB position. Look at who Hagan has had throwing him passes and look at who Chaz has had. I don’t think Eli Manning is a very good QB personally but most would call him better than any of the QBs Chaz has had throwing him passes, and even more importantly with a QB-WR consistency is critical. Hagan has had the same QB throwing to him his entire career and we all know about all the different QBs Chaz has had. Look at Hagans best season in his career and I would say that is his max potential. Too many factors have been inconsistent around Chaz to really determine the extent of his upside. But the statistics alone show Chaz is superior when healthy. Give him a decent QB, give him a consistent QB, take away his injuries, and that’s the only way to compare them apples to apples. The fact Chaz has had superior statistics with Hagan having so many more consistency around him tells me all I need to know. Give Schilens the same environment that Hagan has had and see where his production would be in comparison. Hopefully, Chaz now has that consistent environment so we will be able to actually see his potential. Hagan has always had those things so I think his potential has been realized. Hence why one played last week and one wasn’t active. Thanks for using logic and not emotions Hue!!
September 17th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Came on, actually, to comment bout Hue’s exchange with press.
Not a good start, actually.
When you treat the press like idiots, it’s resented. When you contradict yourself and then give a weak answer, hoping they’ll let it go, you come across as soft, and slow.
backtracking makes you look disengenuous, which it appears is how the reporters took it
yep, not a good start
September 17th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Hue also put Jerry Mac in his place and Jerry Mac tried to make up for it in print. But you watch the interview when Jerry asks his annual question of why try FGs in the preseason, Hue was dumbfounded by how ridiculous the question was to him. Then proceeded to help Jerry Mac understand.
These reporters have opinions and they voice them from time to time. And you sheep just “baaaa” along. Only problem is the reporters are wrong, way wrong! If they were any good they would be talent evaluators, scouts, you name it.

Why are you complaining about the coach? He is doing his job.

Wait until Hue loses before you throw him under the bus, or question his ability to lead this team.
September 17th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
When the hell did a coaches relationship with the media become so freaking important? Have we as Raiders fans had so many poor seasons we have conditioned ourselves to forget winning football games is our main goal? Hue won his first game as a coach…surely there are more interesting things to spend time reporting. Sure Hue said in one interview that production is going to determine playing time. I’m just saying it’s a major stretch to analyze this statement made a while back to such a large degree. It’s almost like Steve is trying to convince everyone Hue is a liar because the topic has 0 merit outside of the fact Hue said one thing, then depending on how that one thing was interpreted, may have done another. Much adiu about nothing if you ask me.

These boyz are designing plays at a higher level. This is stuff I can’t even remember seeing in years of watching football.
The key is just the bounty of weapons the Raiders have to throw at you. They have threats across the board: FB, RB, WR AND TE.
You have to give Davis a lot of credit for gathering all this talent. It really is almost unbelievable how fortunate we are to have all this to watch. Its a thing of beauty. Also cred Hue & Saunders. Its their minds running it.
===============================================
My biggest issue with Davis was the coaching turnover. We can see the benefit of a little continuity. Probably able to expand the playbook instead of always have to reset.
Let’s hope Davis sticks with Hue Jackson…and that Jackson is successfull enough for this not to be an issue
September 17th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
I wonder when Dallas will get rid of Dez-the guy is always hurt.How can they keep a guy who can’t stay on the field.He is taking a roster spot from someone who could play.It doesn’t make any difference that when he is healthy,he is the best WR on their team.If he can’t stay on the field,what good is he.Sounds kind of dumb doesn’t it Chaz detractors.

Would someone please tell me if the following premises are incorrect:
Steve’s job is to maintain the current readers and attract more via comprehensive reporting of the Oakland Raiders
The majority of individuals who read reporting about the Raiders via the Oakland Tribune are going to be Raiders fans or individuals in the Oakland Tribunes coverage area.
I think it’s impossible to make an assessment on Steve’s reporting of Hagan being inactive on Monday vs. Hue’s previous comments regarding playing time without first taking the previous two statements into account. It’s sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees, but it’s pretty easy once you break down an argument using logic. (ie. If P than Q) Not sure if any of you have had education regarding logic and breaking down arguments. It’s pretty much the only way I know how to break down whether or not am opinion is right or wrong.

I think you guys are forgetting what a scribes job is.
Many times, writers will put themselves in a corner, just for a quote.
I don’t think Hagan should start, and I really don’t care if he is active tomorrow or not.
But a writers job is to hold the person he is interviewing accountable for what they say. Simple as that.
And if a writer wants to make a name for himself, outside of being a beat writer making 40K a year who nobody knows outside of the fan base, getting in a pissing match is a fine way to start.
September 17th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
coaches tend to get irritated w/ media in general, b/c most of them have no clue about the game. any good reporter would know how little preseason means. they would know that a guy w/ no track record of success in 5 seasons, and a guy who was brought in late in preseason and was not even supposed to make the team, would not suddenly become a #1 wr based on a pretty good showing in preseason. hue and any good coach w/ a plan, would of course be irritated by some jackazz reporter suggesting it.

don’t get me wrong–i like hagan. i was surprised at how good he looked and i was happy he made the team. and i do think he can help. but i also understand what the raiders are trying to do right now. they’re not gonna abandon their plan and switch directions based on a game or two. they are going to look at the wr’s they believe to be the best first. if they produce, great. if not, they will go to the next guy. you can’t just throw 7 receivers in there randomly and try to see what happens. you have to have a gameplan. they will give guys a chance and see who rises. just have patience and enjoy the process, b/c in the end, i believe we will find some good ones and they will be here for awhile.

Steve wasn’t asking these questions to appease you, no offense.
He was being a jerk, because he had an opportunity to throw Hue’s OWN WORDS back at him, and maybe grab 5 minutes for his own personal media resume.

Where have you guys been for the past week? The Hagan issue has been the the hot button topic in this blogs comments, on Raider message boards and every Raider forum since the Denver game. Some of you are acting as though Steve pulled this out of his butt just to generate some controversy and readership.
He was responding to the questions that his readers were asking. If I had the opportunity to interview Jackson, the first question I would have asked would have been, why haven’t you played Hagan? Especially considering the statements Hue had been making all off season about who would play and why. Only I would have followed it up with, Was it your decision or is Al calling the shots?
Some of you are suggesting that Steve shouldn’t ask tough questions after a win. WTF does that have to do with it? We won that game by a mere 3 points and had just a little over 100 yards passing! Any questions about our passing game are on point!
What is Corkran supposed to do, plug in once a day and feed us the company line?
“So and so got knicked but he’ll be fine.”
“We had some problems in that area, but we’re working hard to correct it.”
“So and so has looked great in practice and we’re looking forward to seeing him in a real game”.
“Everything is wonderful”
Corkran is our inside guy, It’s his job to give us info that we can’t get everywhere else.
If he has to ruffle a few feathers to do it then tough sh!t.
Hue is a big boy, he’ll get over it.
September 17th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
I thought Steve Corckran came across a little too confrontational in this article as well. I was thinking that he was trying too hard to be controversial and just came across as rude. It’s one thing to ask the questions that need asking, and it’s another to antagonize the coach into giving answers to questions that are simply asked to make him look bad.
In my opinion it is too early to tell how well Hue will do. But when he answered the first question about Hagan, that should’ve been it. No need for the “but you said playing time will be based on performance” part. That’s the antagonizing part.
I think Hue made a good point about how he had seen all the other receivers play in games and not Hagan. The only questionable WR would be DHB, but we all know they are trying to give him every chance to be the #1 guy.
They also want to see if Chaz can live up to his potential, and Miller has more than one role in the team. Those are the reasons why Hagan was not active last game.
Now this week, there’s no excuse. He should be activated and used. Now it’s up to him to prove he deserves a more consistent role with the team.
Not only him though, this is also Chaz, Miller and Moore’s chance to prove themselves. The Bills are average against the pass, specially since McGee will be out. If these guys can play, and want to be a big part of the offense, there’s no better chance than this game.
Now if Hagan still outperforms all the WRs and is not activated or used more next game, then we can start with the tough antagonizing questions to the coach. Specially if he helps us win, or if we are losing.
September 17th, 2011 at 4:34 pm
Hue didnt lie about anything. This is just a case of a reporter trying to start a contraversy. There is no contraversy. Everybody in the Raiders organization realizes Hagan isnt starter quality. Therefore the only way Hagan starts is if other guys are hurt. True, Hagan or any other player on the bench could someday become a starter if they earn it, but Hagan hasnt earned it. Only in the eyes of a foolish reporter who is trying to stir stuff up. Its like a fantasy football player thinking they know better than an NFL coach. They dont and neither does Steve. Hue has no desire to start Hagan and never said he had any desire to do so. As he shouldnt because it would a foolish move. You can try to spin Hue’s words all day long and you still wont find anything that says he wants to start Hagan. Why isnt Hagan on the depth chart? Mabye because he’s just a placeholder for Pryor’s roster spot. Maybe because Hagan hasnt earned anything more than the 7th WR spot. Sounds a lot more like the truth than this crap that’s being reported.

You are right. That is not Steve’s job. That is Hue’s job, and he is doing it just fine.
To me, Hagan is a non-issue, particularly after we won without him. But, maybe that’s just my opinion.
I am the one suggesting letting Hue relish in this win for the week. But as a fan, I’m still in celebration mode!
I concede that Steve is just doing what he gets paid to do, I just hope it doesn’t distract the team, or deter the fans. As long as Hue keeps helping us win, I got his back! I guess that’s up to him.
If the Raiders keep winning, it don’t mean dookie.

I like it when the Def, gets chippy. Personal Fouls set the tone of the game.
Other teams use PIs and Def Holding as a strategy to defend Raiders WRs all the time. Why shouldn’t we use the same tactic when necessary?
Offensive holding occurs on every play. If you use it to protect your QB and get away with it most of the time, then it is brilliant.
It’s the Pre-Snap penalties I despise!
September 17th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
It seems like the schedule makers orchestrated this to give The Raiders a loss be giving the the late game on the road on Monday night and then giving the an early east coast game on Sunday. The best thing to do is to give the schedule makers a big fu and win it anyway. Then they finally give The Raiders a couple of home games and make them agianst two teams who they think are going to be two of the better teams in the league. Seems like they are doing there best to try to get The Raiders buried early, but it is going to backfire in their faces. Of course they also thought the best time to schedule The Raiders to play GB is in Dec. on the road.
September 17th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
The penalties that come from agression and playing with an edge can be lived with, but the false starts and defense lining up offsides needs to stop.
September 17th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
I agree with half of what your are saying Ted.
If you have 3rd and 8 and run a play for 15 yds but it gets called back because of an Oline man had to hold a DE so that the QB could get the throw off, then you are looking at the end of the drive. In this case, the penalty is just stupid.
September 17th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
Well I guess if the DE was going to nail your QB, then it could be excused.
I just really hate the drive killing penalties we get sometimes.

But, how many times did you get away with it before they caught you?
Just Win Baby!
September 17th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Well, if you can get away with it, sure why not. But remember that eventually, they will catch you. We could also be taping signals from the stands, but we don’t, at least not that we know of.
I guess if you are good enough to get away with it, then go for it?
It’s kind of bluffing in poker. You will win a few hands with it, but sooner or later you will get called.
September 17th, 2011 at 5:24 pm
The Raiders have a tough schedule, no doubt.
If they beat the mediocre teams, and prove they can at least compete with the really good teams, then it will be a good season in my book.
It’s been so long, I just hope the Raiders are respectable Dammit.
I don’t want to think about Tom Brady and Bill Bellyache sitting in Bill’s office laughing about how the Raiders rolled over in the first half.
If we are gonna’ get beat by the Pats, I at least want to see Brady have to earn it in the 4th Quarter!
Or better yet… BEAT THEM TOO!

1. The reporter did what the reporter should have done–asked questions on behalf of the public. So some of you don’t care why Hagan didn’t suit up, fine; just as many of us do.
2. When the coach’s response was vague and evasive, the reporter did what he should have done–pressed further, respectfully, which is what he did. My gawd, people, how the hell do you think Jackson would have survived the NYC press with those “answers” he gave, esp. since those responses were indeed contrary to what he had said earlier?
3. Now, to those of you who seem to think the rest of us ought not question Jackson’s and/or Davis’ choice of a receiving corps: one doesn’t have to be a football X’s and O’s person to see that Hagan showed in the preseason that he possessed fundamentals: catching the ball WITH THIS HANDS; USING HIS BODY PROPERLY as a shield so that even if he couldn’t make the catch, neither could the defender; running crossing routes like a man not afraid to go there, which might give a recalcitrant, timid, overly careful QB such as JC some confidence to throw in the middle; catching the ball for first downs on a third down plays –moving the chains to keep drives alive.
4. So you don’t think Hagan should have started? No big deal. Most teams that are successful use a variety of players situationally. After all, football is a game of specialties and match-ups for the most part. What I and most of those complaining are saying, I believe, is that it’s not important that he be named a “starter.” What_ is_ important is that his skills be used. How silly is it that DHB or Murphy or Ford or Chaz be used almost exclusively? You can’t tell if he can take his game from the preseason to the real season unless you suit him up and put him in there.
I know one thing–much as I want DHB to get better, he still traps the ball with his stomach, not a good thing. He tries at times to trap it with his shoulder pad, which is an interception waiting to happen. Okay so thankfully he caught some balls and made a couple of first downs last week. That’s encouraging, but most QBs don’t throw perfect passes into a receiver’s stomach and that’s what hands are for. If and until DHB catches balls with his hands, he will always be an incompletion or interception waiting to happen.

September 17th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
If we keeP our eye on the ball, remain focused and eliminate the stupid penalties, we should be able to win in Buffalo. It’s very important that Seymour play tomorrow. He’s the on-field coach for the front 4. The line is just so much better with him in there.

I don’t know why, I’ve said we might lose this game, but I just started getting a very good feeling about this game. I hope it’s not just the anticipation feeling, but I think we just might pull this one off. Beginning 2-0 would most certainly turn heads around the NFL and would make our next 2 games very exciting. NYJ are playing the Jags this week, NY is at home, and they will more than likely win. That would make next week’s match up very interesting. Two 2-0 teams, OAK vs NYJ, OAK at home, home opener, Sanchez having grown up in SOCal, this would just be a game of the week if both teams were to be 2-0.
NE plays SD this week, honestly, I don’t know who I want to lose more. If NE loses, at least they would have had a loss already, and going into Buf next week, would most likely meet us at either 2-1 or we would be 3-0, if we beat the Jets, and if we lose we would be at same record. 2-1.
On the other side, SD. If they beat NE tomorrow and we beat Buf, than we would be 2-0 each. Which would also make the next two games very important. With them playing KC the following week, and then Mia.
If we want to keep up with SD and stay close to the AFCW lead, we have to be very good this next 3 weeks. That’s not going into the bye, which if you go look at the SD schedule, makes the race for the AFCW title a very interesting story to watch unfold.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
After we win tomorrow and beat the Jets(which i’m actually more confident of than tomorrow) he will come here with his regular name and talk about how happy he is and how he loves that the team has turned the corner-and it will be total BS.

September 17th, 2011 at 9:28 pm
The only team I hate more than the Pats is SD or maybe the chiefs or donkeys.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
I hate them also,but if they are playing a team in our division how can you not want them to win?
September 17th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Man crush on Hagan? No. It’s called playing the best players. Hagan is the kind of receiver we NEED to play. He catches everything, makes plays, and has dedicated himself to his craft. Unfortunately, he’s going to get cut to make room for Jamarcus Campbell. Sorry, I meant Terrelle Pryor.
Best guys play? When has that happened in Oakland? When we win, we win despite Al Davis. Al Davis is NOT THE RAIDERS. Anyone who says so doesn’t get it. The Raiders are much bigger than Al.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:33 pm
An enemy of my enemy is my friend, even if only temporary.
I am praying the Pats destroy the Bolts, hopefully crush them into an unrecoverable tail spin.
The Raids need the bolts to get loses, probably their only divisional challenge. Almost had a sweep last weak, but Minnesota joked.
Let the Pats come to Oakland 3-0.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
I really can’t understand the thinking of some of the posts people make on here.It is mind boggling.You don’t know if you want a team in our division to lose or not.Unphuckingbelievable!
September 17th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
Well, I figured that would be the best scenario, them losing and we winning, so I didn’t think there was a need to mention it.

Wimbley needs to up the the production. Three solo’s no sacks.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Kinda like why state the obvious.
You are reading a bit upset, it’s ok man, of course I want SD to lose. Them and Broncos are about dead even in my most hated list. With KC a close 3rd.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:40 pm
I just said I didn’t know who I wanted to lose more.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:40 pm
284-As papa Mora said-you think you know but you really don’t.As Jack Nickolson said-the truth,you want the truth-you can’t handle the truth.Hagan isn’t even close to being the best WR on the team.But keep living in your fantasy world and believing whatever you want.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
Romac, one assist? LOL
Good thing we won,,,
September 17th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
I want both to lose, but you are right, SD would be the choice of who I wanted to lose more.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
and the bunt out Rasta, 5 freaking solo’s, and only one whiff early in the fist quarter.
This weeks stud LB award goes to the burnt out Rasta.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:44 pm
fist = first obviously,
September 17th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Sorry,EM.This place just gets me at times-some of the BS people complain about.They are all pushed out of shape because a bench player they fell in love with during the practice games doesn’t get to play and they are turning on the coach whose record is 1-0 because they aren’t happy with what he says to the media.They take what the host of a blog says ,who,btw, sees limited action of the team and the practices, over what the coaching staff believes.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
What’s a Drexl? Apparently a Drexl is a person who doesn’t know talent.
September 17th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
I know one thing–much as I want DHB to get better, he still traps the ball with his stomach, not a good thing. He tries at times to trap it with his shoulder pad, which is an interception waiting to happen. Okay so thankfully he caught some balls and made a couple of first downs last week. That’s encouraging, but most QBs don’t throw perfect passes into a receiver’s stomach and that’s what hands are for. If and until DHB catches balls with his hands, he will always be an incompletion or interception waiting to happen.
—-and when it happens, maybe Hue will cut the strings out of frustration, go on to have some success, get fired and thrown under the bus, and then land a very lucrative job with another NFL team.

September 17th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
You wish I were MR. Can we talk football please? Holy cow! Idiots.
I will bet dollars to donuts that Hagan will go on to put up better numbers than DHB over the next few years if given significant paying time, whether with Oakland or another team.
September 17th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
ma name is stanky AL, I’ll crap in ya face, I’m playing DHB, and I squirt ya with mace…..
don’t talk about hagan, he just a big jackass, he caught so many balls, we should just call him “pass”
but if I love ya I love ya n I love DHB, so I’ll do what I have to, accept mediocrity…..
as far as the fans and nation too, you a bunch of skanks, pay me me ya money fool,
don’t really care if we never win a game, I Stanky AL, I wont take the blame……
all you fans and the nation too, get down on your knees and stick your tongues out fools,
I’ll piss in the wind and you can have a good drank, meanwhile I’ll run with your money and put it all in my bank……

okay idiots, knucklehead prognosticators, illuminous predictors of tempest-in-teapots, here we gooo……
I right back at it, sent out ma tooner, a scrotal sack, let’s just call him “spooner”……
he has a bald black head, his left eye hangs low, he proud of himself, thinks he really knows,
he spoons out caa-caa time and again, ya’ll believe it,
thankin Broncos was a win,
but we all know they are bottom of the scrum, by the time its over, spooner will be exposed as a bum,
see I play him like a mean guitar, send him out on stage, and he acts bizarre,
he talks about Hagan, like he laid an egg, best in the preseason and he still has to beg,
spooner lays on a multitude of crap, he just an uncle tom, maybe he’ll take up rap……
spooner does what I say, cause I am the boss, I am stanky AL, too bad your loss…..
ya see ma fans and the nation too, ya’ll work for me, spooner will cover you in poo,
meanwhile, I’ll do what I want, you’ll keep giving me your dough, by and by its spooner I’ll haunt,
cause if he starts losing I’ll get in my groove, crack that shiny pate with my favorite pool cue.
Just Die Baby !!!! I out

Quote of the day:
“It caught everybody’s attention around the league, any time you can go on the road and have a victory like that,” Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. “What they did was a nice, impressive victory, but they’ve got to deal with us now. And we ain’t the Chiefs.”
September 17th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
What did I walk in on…the West Coast 8 mile! Lol
September 17th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Geeeez…all this Hagan talk still. I’m sure you so called visionaries can go online and bet football futures on his stats and try putting your money where your mouth is. I guarantee his best season in Oakland won’t eclipse his best year in NY. I like the guy….really like him, but wouldn’t put him in front of any of the receivers Hue kept active on gameday.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
Is anyone talking football still on?
September 17th, 2011 at 11:23 pm
Masturbator Beecham,
GET A LIFE AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU’RE A FAN OF MY TEAM. You don’t talk football. You talk about a fantasy life that no one believes is real. Maybe it started out as a joke, but now it’s old. That’s also an apt description of your life.
Go on, post more homo-erotic fantasies about living in the Bay and making out with Rich Gannon and getting to be Al’s lap dog. Be offended when someone makes an argument yoy have no answer for.
Have fun sleeping in your beautiul, luxurious home tonight (aka your mom’s basement).
Every non-football related post you make shows more and more how much you don’t like the team. It’s just a sad cry for help.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:23 pm
Raiders football I mean. Like, actually support a coach going 1 and 0 and the decisions that brought home a conference win away from home.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
I think Oakland loses tmrw. It’s hard enough to travel to the east coast and play a morning game and find a way to win. Now factor in the fact Campbell isn’t very good and that Al starts DHB. If we win, it won’t be by a lot, and we’ll have the running game to thank.
September 17th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
coopraider….to know me is to love me, I a man named AL, jello in ma cranium, I am quite foul…

ma fans and the nation are an eternal splanks, they live to serve me, bring their money to ma bank,
I’ll play who I’ll play dont matter not the best, I stanky AL, hue works at my behest,
just name it when you name know I am stanky AL, hang with me baby n I’ll be your pal,
you could do worse, with all here who blog, just addle pate dummies, lost in a fog.

is that a wild party? hahhahahaha.
and these are the reviews on yelp:
Dominique D.
Woodland Hills, CA
8/20/2011
I am being completely honest and unbiased as I write this review while sitting on the Reggae boat cruise… My group paid $45/each and were told that BBQ was included. Well it is NOT. In addition the only food on the “Reggae cruise”are Domino pizza slices and BBQ wings: for $5 each. The boat is the cheapest piece of crap I have ever been on and had we not paid for our tickets in advance, I would have never boarded. 2nd, and most importantly the boat did not leave until around 6:30, even though we were scheduled to leave at 6pm, which means right now I am being held HOSTAGE until 9:30pm! To make a horrible experience even worse we are riding around in a 1/4 mile circle!! The boat is literally a rip-off! Party people BEWARE!
Sree R.
Long Beach, CA
7/5/2009
I went on the July 4th cruise, and unfortunately, I didn’t think it was worth the money ($55 per person). First, the boarding gates opened about 15 minutes late, then the ship left the dock almost an hour later than scheduled. The reggae band was average (they did some Celine Dion covers turned reggae–very strange). Because the ship is pretty small, it kept rocking in the waves, which meant people were literally falling on top of each other at points, and the trash can on the top deck overturned multiple times. Also, the cruise advertised itself as getting riders close to the Queen Mary fireworks, but we were actually pretty far away. Other than drinking, there wasn’t much to do on the boat. On a positive note, I will say the boat was well-staffed (there were several security guards) and the crowd was a good mix of people.
hilarious! yeah beecham. ur a real swinging guy. and did u see that he actually listens to huey lewis and talks about it! he doesn’t even know how lame he is!
dude, just quit w/ the stupid lies and just be urself. know ur a lame-o and go w/ it. no one, and i mean no one believes you.

coaches tend to get irritated w/ media in general, b/c most of them have no clue about the game. any good reporter would know how little preseason means. they would know that a guy w/ no track record of success in 5 seasons, and a guy who was brought in late in preseason and was not even supposed to make the team, would not suddenly become a #1 wr based on a pretty good showing in preseason. hue and any good coach w/ a plan, would of course be irritated by some jackazz reporter suggesting it.
steve basically showed himself to be a fairly average knowledge-less fan.

Good morning my Raider Nation fam!
Anxious to see what Hue’s approach is on offense in regards to passing. Terrence McGee is out, so I’m hoping the more receivers we put out on the field the deeper we get into the depth of the Bills secondary. 4 wide out’s on the first play on offense-Schilens, Moore, DHB, Hagan or Miller??? Let’s GO RAIDERS!

From PFT
Chargers get a break on scheduling
While the late start on Sunday gives Pats fans extra time to get “lubed up,” it gives the Chargers extra time to do something far more important.
Sleep.
In 2011, the Chargers will play only one game that kicks off at 10:00 a.m. local time, as recently pointed out by the San Diego Union-Tribune. It’s the fewest early starts they’ve had in at least 15 years.
“Good, that’s how it should be,” safety Eric Weddle told the Union-Tribune. “[Games at] 10 a.m. are the worst. I don’t care what anyone says. Just your body, mentality, physically, you’re just not up. It takes you a quarter, and that’s a huge advantage whether you can get down or if you can maintain just staying even with team. You know the records . . . not just us. Everyone.”
In the past five years, teams based in the Pacific time zone have won 35 and lost 74 games that start at 1:00 p.m. ET.
This year, the other four West Coast teams play at least five 10:00 a.m. local time games, each.
That will definitely be an issue on Sunday for the Raiders, given that they had a short week after a road game in Denver, and that they’ll be playing at 1:00 p.m. ET in Buffalo.
Also this week, the Seahawks play the Steelers at 1:00 p.m. ET, and the Cardinals play the Redskins at 1:00 p.m. ET. Though we’re not advocating for an increase in 4:05/4:15 p.m. ET starts, at a minimum the West Coast team that has to play an early game on the other side of the country should at least play a home game the prior week — and not be required to play an early game after playing on a Monday night, either home or away.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:05 am
Florio makes sense but games should start at 4:15. Thats not a big deal
September 18th, 2011 at 6:12 am
I am watching NFL (I can just barely put up with Sapp untill BSPN). But I was wondering who I would like to have a beer with.
Mooch = Too much of a know it all
Irving = hell yes and I would keep my mouth shut
Sapp = no way with the fish eyed fool
Faulk = hell yes
Warner = heck yes although I doubt he drinks
September 18th, 2011 at 6:15 am
The pats did not line up in a 3-4 at all last week against Miami.
Maybe they should have.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:16 am
j.c. needs to bring it today, i hope his wideouts can get open for a change, or its gonna be a bad game for dmac.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:17 am
Well the early east coast games have been a factor for us but we’ve just gotta find a way to win these games no matter what the circumstances are. I think(hope)Hue will have them ready to go. If we play low penalty football we can win!
GO RAIDERS!!!
September 18th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Would love to see JC throw for 300 plus, a pair of TD’s and no turnovers. Big wish!
September 18th, 2011 at 6:19 am
Ford is out so I’m a little concerned DHB will not play or is less than 100%. That makes 2 of our starters down. Moore, Chaz, Miller & Hagan will get a lot of run.
Given health issues at WR I think we will try to run run and run some more. Then pass on occasion. We just can’t get behind. Defense, defense, defense. We have to ride these horses to another win.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:23 am
Hagan will likely be activated. Ausberry may be activated as well along with Boss. This will help the passing game with DHB & Ford down but we won’t have much of a deep threat. Expect a lot of short/mid range passes.
Moore & Schilens (maybe Miller) can get deep but they’re not DHB or Ford speed.

Yeah. That’ll be pretty difficult when your two wides are down, well 3 including Murphy.
So I would expect another run first second and maybe pass short here and there.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:28 am
Terrapin
Thats why I think winning the coin toss is a big deal for us. Most teams like to get the ball first in the second half. We need the ball first and sustain a long drive with a TD. It means a lot more to us then most teams
September 18th, 2011 at 6:30 am
Carson Palmer in football shape and ready to go throwing balls to his old mate whosyourdaddy
September 18th, 2011 at 6:36 am
I would have the drink with The Playmaker, because a few drinks would probably lead to hookers and blow afterwards.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:37 am
Forget getting the ball first, this D-Line is special let Bills know right from the get go what kind of game it’s gonna be, killing you’re Qb and stuffing the run. GO RAIDERS!
September 18th, 2011 at 6:37 am
lol That shows how old I am getting. I didnt think about hookers and blow. I just want to hear him tell tales.

Just don’t cut in front of Swearing Irving at the barbershop or you may get the scissors to the neck!
September 18th, 2011 at 7:08 am
d.h.b. being out is no big deal. this dude has yet to prove his worth. more important is that he and j.c. just cant seem to connect. if hes open down field j.c. cant get him the ball, its always out of bounds or short. d.h.b. on the other hand doesnt know how to run routes or shake a defender off him to give his q.b. a chance.

Is DHB officially “out”?
September 18th, 2011 at 7:16 am
My offseason prediction of DHB having more weeks inactive than TD catches will gain some solid footing.
Really wanted to be wrong on that one.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:26 am
d.h.b. has been out for all but 1 game since he was drafted. like i said him being out is not different hen him being in the game. i just hope im wrong.
September 18th, 2011 at 7:26 am
DHB is out? I must have missed it. Even if he is the long ball is still a big weapon for us. Dmoe can fly, & Chaz runs a 4.3. Are wr group is the fastest in the entire NFL & they are deep. We will be fine
September 18th, 2011 at 7:34 am
Sebass youre an idiot. Don’t drop the soap, you will be fresh fish!
September 18th, 2011 at 7:37 am
Lol at victor Ortiz trying to clean up his dirty tactics with lame excuses. Mayweather has changed his style, he is far more flat footed and throwing with far more power. Perhaps because he is getting older. PAC man would get his a$$ kicked if they fought today!
September 18th, 2011 at 7:47 am
Money Mayweather is probably my favorite athlete.
Ortiz would have gotten knocked out eventually anyways.
Floyd is like the Bellicheck of fighters. Every fight, he adapts and changes his style to get the victory.

While the wife and I never “paid” for the closed circuit viewing parties we always use to go to, to watch the fights, I think the casino’s got there money back.
You would have loved them though Plunk. They would put them in the cirque theaters, free booze and food, somewhere between 2-3K watching.
Next best place to be other than the fight itself.
I haven’t missed a Money fight in probably the last 6 years.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:05 am
Key to victory today should be pretty simple.
Limit penalties to a somewhat acceptable level, win the turnover and ST battles.
Offensively, I think both teams match up well. We should be able to run the ball on them, they will probably be able to move the ball through the air on us.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:12 am
I love Floyd as a fighter, I think he is hands down the best of this generation. He is an embarrassment for black people outside of the ring. He will have major problems when his time is up, there will be nothing left to feed his ego. Life would be better if we never had to see any behind the scene footage or had to hear him speak. He is exactly what mainstream media & the powers that be want all black men to be like, a compoets ignorant fool, that will do anything for money & nothing to uplift his people. He is the modern Negro in the same class as basketball wives, & cat Williams.

****************************
Seriously???
Having lived in Vegas for 7 years, let me tell you that he is loved by just about everyone there, does a ton of charity work, fuels the economy, and has probably paid for half of the inner-city high school sports equiptment in the town.
People outside of Vegas may hate him, but he is an icon in Vegas, not just as a fighter.
His dad is the money-grubbing, degenerate, ignorant fool.

Jfb,
Yes seriously. Charities are tax write offs and photo ops. Calculated public relations strategies Tha cannot mask the odor of reckless ignorance. He is not setting a positive example for my people to follow & is in the same category a’s 50 cent, highly paid minstrels.
Giving to charity doesnt make you a leader. David duke donated to charities too. If he wasn’t such an idiot I doubt he would have the platform he does. Amerikkka loves his kind, and will continue to promote him a’s he leads his own people to the grave.
When he can no longer box he will be useless.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:46 am
BSPN have Boss and DHB out today
September 18th, 2011 at 8:46 am
So no Ford, DHB or Lou Murphy??
That seems like an issue to me.
Nick Miller, Chaz Schillens, Derek Hagan and Dennarius Moore as your WR’s??
That is EASILY the most unproven set of WR’s to play today.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:46 am
DHB inactive?
J-Camp gonna’ have a big day?
September 18th, 2011 at 8:46 am
DHB and Seymour, The heart of our team. We better run and run some more. Then when everyone gets tired plug in the typhoon from Tiawan

——————————————————-sorry vegas but mistic is right. he is an embarrassment to black folks and he rides with that damn fool fiddy cent. donating money is donating money. dont hate on him for it but thats all it is. the media loves that ghetto azz style of his just like some of these punk sellout hollywood negroes step n fetchin for a chicken george type of role. however he did knock dude the fugg out fair and square. ortiz clearly launched himself when he head butted him. that was dirty as hell. i knew floyd wouldnt take that lightly and im gald he didnt. one cheap shot deserves another. unless its the raiders givng them first. and what the hell was up with larry merchant saying he wish he was fifty years younger so he could kick his azz? yeah right dude!
September 18th, 2011 at 8:50 am
Looking forward to seeing what Hagan and Moore can do. Hopefully Chaz and Miller step up, too. They can all earn more playing time with solid performances today.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:50 am
Larry Merchant is drunk on the regular.
Him and Floyd get into it after nearly every fight.
September 18th, 2011 at 8:51 am
Good point about turnovers. We were so crappy it did not matter. However as we become a playoff team we have to win the turnover battle.

I wonder what Boss’s problem was? All reports said he was good to go. Hope he did regress and re-injure that knee. He’s simply too important not to be playing. They better get Ausberry up to snuff so that he can backfill Boss. Meyers just isn’t getting it done.
September 18th, 2011 at 9:01 am
the bills have a history of accelerating in the
second half. this and our short week could make you
nervous.
but i think we don’t underestimate the bills, but they may focus too much on the strenghts we showed in wk 1 (dline, running game – esp. with their history of bad run d). that opens a window for our under the radar receiver corps.
raiders 34 bills 24
